Restoration Fellowship Church wants to make a lasting
difference in your life, in our community, and in the world.
R-Vision – “Loved by Jesus, Love Like Jesus.”
R-Mission - is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of
Christ. That's how we're able to make a difference, and it's the driving force
behind everything we do. We believe as
people know how much they are loved by Jesus, they will begin to love like
Jesus. That love will grow them up and
send them out to be world changers for Jesus!
YOUR LIFE
Wherever you
are in life, you matter and you have a purpose. We want to help you become the
person God has created you to be. Your journey has a next step and we'll help
you find it. It could start with serving, finding God's vision for your life,
giving, or joining us regularly.
You don't
have to take the next step alone. With a strong community of friends, you can
laugh, grow, and serve with people who genuinely care about you. Find a small
group to join you on your journey.
YOUR FAMILY

families start with solid foundations. That's why we partner with parents to
help raise the next generation to become followers of Christ. Your children and
teens have opportunities throughout the week to grow relationships with each
other and with God.

R-Core Values to achieve the Mission and Vision
RELEVANT– Worship
Experience - We are alive today because God
loves us and chose us to be here. We exist for His benefit, His glory, His
purpose, and His delight. Bringing enjoyment to God, and living for His
pleasure, is the first purpose of our lives and where true fulfillment is found. We are committed to lead Restoration
Fellowship Church into a worship encounter that is done with a commitment to
excellence, while remaining open, honest and authentic. We want our worship encounter to result in
people knowing God is real and is with us.
We want people to understand our daily walk leads to a weekend
celebration. We are absolutely committed
to teach the Truth of God’s unfathomable grace and love each time we are
together! (John 1:17)
RESPONSIBILITY – Ministry - When we become a Christian, God gives us salvation out of His
passion for us, and with it, the hope of eternity in heaven. He also gives us
purpose and significance in our lives. He has given each of us the opportunity
to serve others and make a real difference in our community. Applying our
talents to help others in the name of Jesus is our mission. We ask each person who calls Restoration
Fellowship, “their place of spiritual
connection,” to find a place to serve.
We do not want people to serve out of duty, but from the realization of
God’s love for them. Out of this
overflow; service follows. (John
3:16… “For God so loved He gave…”)
RENOVATE – Discipleship - Spiritual growth is not so much about "doing" as it is
about "becoming" – becoming more like Christ through the Word of God.
It's a life-long adventure that takes patience, commitment, and intentional
focus. Ultimately, the Christian life is about building an intimate
relationship with Jesus as the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out, and
loving others the way Jesus loves us. We
encourage each person to grow in connection with Christ and others by being
authentic in their accountability with others.
Followers of Christ in a healthy system accept individuals because of
who they are not because of what they do or don’t do. This acceptance frees individuals from the
bonds of perfectionism and shame. It
allows them to be vulnerable and to quit pretending to be perfect. Real change happens in this environment. (Romans 5:17)
RELATIONSHIP – Fellowship - Because God is love, He treasures relationships. At
Restoration Fellowship, we are better together, and God made you to love Him
first and foremost, and love your neighbor as yourself. This is why we value
small groups so much! We desire our
groups to be safe places which are grace filled. Meaning, a place where true acceptance,
confidentiality and friendship are central.
We encourage each person to find a small group.
REACHING – Mission - God wants us to share His love where we are. As a student, mother,
father, teacher, salesman, manager, or in whatever we do; God wants us to reach
out to the people in our life. That might mean inviting a friend to church or
showing love to those in need around us. Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ
is the most important mission on this earth.
Restoration Fellowship is committed to make Christ known throughout the
Shenandoah Valley, the Commonwealth of Virginia, throughout the country, and
around the world. (Matthew 28:18-20)
